What has been your most unforgettable trip?
My most memorable trip so far was driving across the country back in 2021! My husband and I roadtripped from Maryland to Oregon to move to the PNW and it was incredible!
What is your go to road trip song?
Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac
One piece of travel advice is…
Always take the scenic routes!
What made you want to share your experiences through content creation?
I feel like our time on this world is very fleeting, memories and experiences are all that we have in the end. Having a history of dementia in my family, and taking care of my grandmother (who had dementia) in her final years really taught me that I need to build a way to remember every single experience in my life that I can. I've always been a creative and once I picked up a camera a few years back, I felt a sense of responsibility to others, but mainly to myself, to freeze these beautiful moments in time forever to share my experiences, and hold on to these memories.
What inspires you on a daily basis?
Nature, music, my husband, my family, love, sunshine, the ocean, too much to even write down…
Explain your content creation journey in a paragraph or two:
My journey began as a marketing + social media manager for a bridal shop actually! Having to basically redo their website, do all PR, advertising, social media management + all content creation and creative directing styled shoots and events, I actually really fell in love with the camera myself. However, my passion was always the outdoors and traveling! Living in the PNW now for the last 4 years I've had the incredible opportunity to explore, hike, and roadtrip to some of the most unbelievably beautiful places I've ever seen, that I never would have even thought of before moving across the country on a whim! Seriously, I really never even thought of Oregon or Washington, not even to visit or anything, growing up in Maryland. Where I'm from, the beach/ shore life style was what everyone did for their trips in the summer, sure there was hiking around some, but not like out here.
What's next on your bucket list?
Portugal, Hawaii (I've never been 😭) Canada, and Alaska!!! I can't decide what to do first though!
What is something most people don't know about you?
This is hard because I feel like I'm a super open person but…maybe… that I've gone skydiving like 5 or 6 times.
If you could only visit one place for the rest of your life, where would it be and why?
Honestly… I'm a tropical beach bum at heart so I think I'd have to say the Caribbean or somewhere like Fiji or the Maldives
What is one piece of advice for those hoping to start monetizing their content creation?
Just start. Jump in the deep end. That's what I did, that's what I'm still doing. You really just learn as you go and as you fail. Failing is just learning tool as long as you don't stop trying!
